Compliments the "Geyser" Repository and
Its Bright (9) Editor.
EDITOR DEMoCRAT:-Lastn nights Rep.
contained numerous false statements,
insinuatiOns and long cared self praises
In regard to the new IntirmsrY, on which
subject l wish to be heard although l
don't wish to have 1t understood that l
am going Into the business Of correcting
all the lies the Rep. tells In regard to
the new Inarmary. The job is too
large. A $150,000 IntirmaTy contract
would be but trifle in comparison with
such an undertaking, and then as II Is a
well known fact that the Rep. Is very
unreliable, answers are not absolutely
necessary.
The Rep. says "the people of Stark
county want to vote on $150,000 build.
ing projects themselves"
It is quite likely, II there was to be
$l50,0OO worth Of buildings built for
Stark county, that many voters would
like to vote on 1t; but Commissioners
Smith and SChmachtenberge do nOtand
never did oppose the voters voting on
the question Of building new Infirm-
ary, 'geyser" or viper to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
The Repository says "Messrs. Smith,
Schmachtenber Tilden & Co. have been
forced to the conclusion that they can
not ignore the rights OF the people Of
Stark county while the Repository is
here"
What severe attack of the "blg head"
the editor OF the Rep. has got-bUt
Smiths majority was 1854. l fear he has
forgotten it, and the Repository was
"hpre" all the time, and throwing mud
to its full capacity.
As to the forced conclusions" Of
Smith and Schmachtenberger that is
an hsllucinatiOn of this big headed
egotlstical editor.
The Rep. says "there has been a
geyser that let's out the truth of the
attempted corruption" etc.
l wonder If this geyser isn't the same
authentic source" that the Rep. pub
fishes liarp and as for the attempted
corruption" I'll venture the assertion
that their "geyser" dreamed It,
The Rep. claims that because the
Commissioners, when ordered by the
court to build a new insane building
had buainess tact and fOrethought
enough to have drawings prepared for
complete institution, which they, as
business men, saw must be built soon,
located and built the insane building
with reference to the future buildings
that they were laying a corrupt scheme
to defraud the people of Stark county.
What reasoning, intelligent man be-
lieVes 1t? 1t is evident on the face of 1t
that it is but a scheme of the Reps.
which they have worked and are work
ing for political capital.
The Rep. claimed for long time that
the new IDfirmary would cost 100000
and then presume on the authority of
Its "geyser" all of q sudden increased
the cost to $150000. That the Commits
siOners have entered into contract to
have drawings prepared for an Infirm-
ary has never been denied, but it has
been denied repeatedly, and Inow deny,
that contract to prepare drawings or
build an Infirmary to cost $100, 900 or
$4,000 was ever entered into and the
editor of the Repository knows 1t; and he
further knows that no fraud or c0rrup-
tion has been practiced, or schemes laid
to defraud the people of Stark county by
Commissioners Smith and schmachten.
